The sample doesn’t mean anything, because the polls weight their results based on their expected breakdown of the electorate. Even if the sample is 90% Republicans, the published results will have adjusted and weighted that downward.

What would be good to know is if their weighting is still based on the Obama turnout model. That means if less blacks and young people show up, but more working class whites show up than the last 2 elections, Hillary’s numbers will be overestimated under that weighting scheme.
